Game Makers Scramble 2026, a real-world event for game creators organized by the game development web media outlet Game Makers (operated by Historia, Inc.), is set to take place on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at TOC Ariake Convention Hall in Tokyo.
What Is Game Makers Scramble?
Game Makers is a web media platform dedicated to sharing game development information, born in 2022 from the belief that "creating games is more fun than playing them." Game Makers Scramble is the editorial team's annual in-person event—a space where everyone with a passion for game creation, from amateurs to professionals, can come together regardless of their background.
Now entering its fourth year, the 2026 edition is growing in scale, with three lecture tracks, 15 or more presentation slots, and an expected attendance of over 1,000 participants.
